The Republicans are comically flailing.
This is what we want. Live, televised, and persuasive. This is why finally getting the votes for impeachment hearings and then locking it down to something “short and focused” would be the dumbest, most self-defeating move the Democrats in Congress could possibly make.
Open hearings and have them as far into next year as you can. There’s a deficit in that the public really doesn’t know how bad Trump et al’s crimes are, and this is how they find out.
The argument that that would seem mean and partisan to have hearings “close to an election” is just more regurgitation of Republican talking points, time to stop being afraid of them, they’re empty clowns and the more people see that the worse it is for them.
